Vendor differences

1. Set the Status filter to New to display new reorder numbers downloaded from AppCAT.

   New: a new reorder code has been found in AppCAT and does not exist anywhere in Fred NXT.

   

2. (Recommended) Select all lines and click Update item to append the new reorder numbers to the lines.

   To avoid overloading the system, it recommended to filter by Vendor account and proceed in small batches.

3. Commit: when all required actions have been selected.

   Updated: the reorder code was updated against the product the last time differences were applied.

1. Set the Status filter to Conflict.

   Conflict – indicates there is a potential problem with the AppCAT matching for the product.

   • If the reorder number is assigned to the correct FredNXT Item, the user can choose to Leave the Reorder number on the conflict item 502416.
   • If it is currently assigned to the wrong FredNXT Item (502416), the user can click Move to move the reorder number to the recommended product (102872).
   • If the reorder number is totally incorrect, the user can click Delete to simply remove it from the conflict item (502416).

   You may want to check the AppCAT Online (www.appcat.com.au) or vendor's portals to check the correct assignation of the barcode.

3. Commit when all required actions have been selected.
   • Ignored: indicates a reorder number that has been marked to not apply on the product.

     For example, ignore all Blackmores changes as you do not want this information against the products.

   • Reset item: If you have selected the incorrect Action, click Reset Item.

• Either select the action Update item, to change to the suggested new value or Ignore Item to leave the Tax type as the Old Value.
